Some variants are almost unweldable (high graphite content, so only brazing possible). I was hoping someone (you! ) had experience or information about it. Sounds like you know what you’re doing and shouldn’t have any problems welding it! I’m always surprised by the amount of oil that can soak into cast iron, and sewing machines are always covered in oil, so it definitely helps to get it hot enough to burn up any oil - automotive stuff must be the same.

DonInReno Report post Posted June 13, 2023 Machines with a walking foot won’t spin much so that’s normal. I also just use wd40 and rags with a small brush to clean most parts then oil everything well. There’s no need to ever take the machine apart to clean. Normally every day it’s used, just one drop of oil in each oil hole and every place two pieces of metal rub together is all it needs, but on a dirty machine I’ll maybe do 5 drops each day knowing it’s going to drip oil so place extra rags under it.

I was out and had only a few minutes in the workshop to take the pictures and go. I had the subclass list but only in text form and less detailed. I try to decipher the 913/52, it should be hidden in the new pdf somewhere. Anyway, I saw the machine only few minutes today, but found out that the feed dogs are definately not from the binding version (they have ribs, and number 44080 C). As always it could be usefull to double check if and/or to what extent the machine relates the name/type plate. Someone could swap part in the past. The part list I have is originaly from your upload here (I think. filename 5ao8mf6d ). It seems to be general, not H3 specific. The parts around the lifting lever that I need are not there at all. Could you please upload it too? Photos attached. If you need me to shoot something specific I can take it tomorrow. Thank you! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shoepatcher Report post Posted June 18, 2023 (edited) I would have the piece in the back welded first to see if it will work. Strima in Poland carries a lot of older parts. Check with them since you already have the part numbers. I you contact Pfaff in Germany and see what they have. There is also a guy on eBay in Lithuania that sells a lot of older Pfaff parts. glenn Edited June 18, 2023 by shoepatcher grammar Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
karmazine Report post Posted June 21, 2023 Thank you for the tips... I spoke to Pfaff here in CZ. They both with Strima share funny pricelist. No whines, I am glad that someone still have the parts at all. Better high priced ones than nothing. But for now I will stick to DIY and buy only the essential/uneasy to manufature parts.
